I watched The Bucket List a couple of days ago. I thought the movie was enjoyable and had loads of important messages. One particular conversation that caught my attention was when Carter mentions the two questions that Egyptians believed would be asked before entry to heaven. The two questions where
1. Did you in this life experience happiness?
2. Did you in this life bring happiness to others?
I was recently thinking about my reduced drive to write short stories. I tracked this lack of inspiration all the way back to the time I started this blog. Now that made me wonder, had I not started this blog would I have written far more short stories?
It very easy to pull out a calculation.

When I finished writing The Sculptor’s Statue about a year and a half ago, i could not have guessed the impact it would have on me.
